Patio Pick Me Up

“Scandinavians have been painting patterns on floors and rugs for centuries, and it’s a genius technique for outdoor decks, as well!” Gorder says.

This DIY may seem like the most difficult of the three, but “if you know how to color, this is an easy one,” Gorder says.

After finding your perfect stencil, simply color in between the lines with a stipple brush until you’re happy with the design. Afterwards you’ll have a beautiful outdoor “rug” that will not only look unique, but also be a great conversation piece when guests are over.
